Requirements:

Applicants must be undergraduate or graduate students from mainland China (not graduating in 2011)

To apply:

Application letter of 300 words detailing the student’s interests in the field of architecture and the ways in which the trip would relate to those interests.

Submit the required material in A4 PDF format to travel@i-mad.com along with your name, date of birth, gender, college or university, year, and contact information. The file should not exceed 5MB.

The selected fellows will be announced on July 22, 2011.
